What the Videos Show vs. What the Media Claims

The narrative was decided before the evidence finished loading.

In Monday’s episode of Data & Dissonance, we break down the Minneapolis ICE shooting that sparked instant outrage — and ask the question most media outlets refuse to touch: what do the videos actually show, and why are so many networks telling their audience to ignore them?

As liberal outlets rush to label the incident “murder,” we slow the story down and examine the footage, the legal standards around use of force, and the critical context being omitted from mainstream coverage. From selective editing to emotional framing, this episode exposes how narrative often replaces analysis — and why facts become inconvenient when they disrupt a preferred conclusion.

The panel digs into conservative reporting, media hypocrisy, and the growing gap between evidence and headlines — with sharp back-and-forth, real debate, and zero interest in outrage theater.

Because accountability starts with truth — not hashtags.

Special Guest Friday: Behind the Fire (Brian)

On this Special Guest Friday episode of Data & Dissonance, Artie sits down for a long-form, no-panel conversation with Brian — the voice many listeners know for his blunt delivery and unapologetic fire, but rarely hear without interruption.

This episode isn’t about hot takes or viral clips. It’s about slowing the conversation down and asking the questions that usually get skipped. Where does conviction come from? When does silence stop being neutral? And what happens when frustration turns into responsibility instead of apathy?

Across five extended segments, Artie and Brian dig into the roots of Brian’s worldview, the difference between anger and caring, how media narratives shape public trust, what’s actually broken in the country right now, and what still gives reason for hope when the noise fades. There’s humor, pushback, and reflection — not to persuade, but to understand.

This is a conversation for listeners who are tired of slogans, exhausted by outrage cycles, and looking for something more honest than headlines. You don’t have to agree with everything said here. You just have to listen.

• Who Brian is beyond the “fire”
• Why frustration is often mistaken for anger
• How gaslighting erodes trust faster than corruption
• What happens when accountability becomes selective
• Why quiet awakenings matter more than loud movements

Political thrillers built around power, corruption, and accountability — the same themes we explore every week on the show.

FAFO isn’t brutality — it’s reality.

In Thursday’s episode of Data & Dissonance, we break down the ICE incident making headlines for all the wrong reasons. When an individual attempted to use a vehicle as a weapon against federal agents, the response was immediate — and lawful. Yet within hours, media outlets and activists rushed to rewrite the story, turning an act of aggression into a tale of victimhood.

We unpack the legal reality of deadly force, the responsibility that comes with confrontation, and why the same people who demand “accountability” vanish when facts collide with ideology. This isn’t about cheering violence — it’s about telling the truth when the narrative collapses.

Because actions still have consequences — no matter how loud the spin machine gets.
